On a day that Clayton Kershaw struggled almost from the opening pitch, the boys gutted it out after seeing their 4-1 lead erased late.

A miraculous, if in all likelihood incorrectly officiated, play that started as a bunt and ended as one of the most improbable triple plays you will ever see, took all the wind out of the Pod Rays' sails and you just knew a walk off was in the offing.

True to form, Dee Gordon's slap single over shortstop drove in the winning run, and the dry humping was in order led by Matt Kemp. In the wise words we've grown to know and love: We'll take it!

Dee Gordon is somewhere at the bottom of this pile

On a day that we welcomed Vin Scully back to the booth, the Dodgers moved to 9-1, equaling their franchise best start. Let's enjoy this one, folks! Best record in baseball. Keep that thought in your head.*

I hate the Cubs, and I seldom feel bad for their WS drought...but that stupid Playstation commercial gives me chills every time. I guess 'cause it's been so long since any of my teams has won anything.

Anybody else worried about a Clayton injury or was he just off yesterday? He had a strange stumble coming off the mound early in the game. I really hope he doesn't have a foot or leg injury he's not talking about

One thing I'm noticing (and I could be way off), but to me it seems like Clay is afraid to go right at batters. He did a lot of pitching around them yesterday (or, maybe, just missing his location?). But it never seemed like he really wanted to bare down and challenge them.
